Rachel has been teaching for seventeen years in a Montessori environment but has actually been teaching since she was nine years old from her living room chalkboard to any child that crossed her path. In 2007, she received her Primary Teaching Certificate from The Center for Montessori Teacher Education/New York (CMTE/NY). In 2012, she went through Positive Discipline training to help further her impact on children of all ages. Rachel is a doula and a registered yoga teacher specializing in yoga for special needs, mommy and me yoga, and children’s yoga. She enjoys being outside, gardening, the ocean, essential oils, and spending time with her dogs, Lucy and Puppy. Her favorite Montessori quote is “Of all things love is the most potent.”
